Update 1.3.28 [tfd.nexon.com] has functionally invalidated the overwhelming majority of this guide. Rather than edit nearly 100 pages of content, I've elected to rebuild the guide from scratch. You can find it here : https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3738359425 As such, this will likely be the last update on this particular guide. While there are many ways to farm a given item, the collection information within is purely composed of my preferred farming loops for each item. Where applicable I will also include notes on both how and where to collect each resource. Additionally, I will try to include common or recurring uses for each resource, as applicable. Please note , that I've made the blanket assumption that anyone looking to farm materials in any notable quantity already has access to hard mode, and as such, my suggestions are tailored with the expectation that most farming will be done in hard mode , unless there happens to be a case in which normal mode offers a faster farm. Given the vast differences in relevance of materials with some being required in neigh uncountable quantities, and others needing only a few hundred, I've chose to structure this guide to account for that. The first two sections are specifically for Catalysts and Energy Activators, which will be constantly farmed as long as one plays the game, whereas the Sigma Sector, Fellow, and Limited sections will include materials that only need to be farmed as needed, and sometimes only once. The Ctrl+F function is your friend, wherever possible I have used the exact item name for ease of searching, for materials/blueprints/locations/etc. Comments, notes, and additions are welcome. Credit noted where credit due As with any guide, your mileage may vary Time to go to work You're going to need lots of these. So learning to farm the materials efficiently is a key way to save some time and make the core loop easier. With update 1.3.6 and Void Vessel 072 getting a new area, there now exists the option to farm as a whole, the materials needed for Crystallization Catalysts. While at the individual level, this is not more efficient than target farming a specific material, the ease with which all four materials are acquired simultaneously makes this an attractive option. This is especially notable if you're working on crafting one or both of the swords, as the number of runs required is sure to net you a significant amount of the needed resources for Catalysts. Update 1.3.16 added Breach Tracking , which now offers the opportunity to get a Crystallization Catalyst as a straight drop from Shining Amorphous Dimensional Stones, albeit at a 1% drop rate. Kind of fun, but I certainly wouldn't count on this as a primary source. Murky Energy Residue With no field farming location, the only choice is is one of the infiltrations in the Sterile Land . Expect drops in the ~14-24 range. My advice is to stock up on these whenever one of the relevant missions is the daily 400%. The Forgottense also drops Artificial Biometals (~7/run) as well as the Distorted Resolve external component set, which is a nice bonus if you don't want to queue for Death Stalker to collect pieces of it. The Unknown Lab also drops Fusion Plasma Batteries (~5/run) and the Venom Essence external component set. As an interesting side perk to this farm, amorphous 60-63 can be used at the Rockfall/Repository Reactors where elite enemies drop ~3-5 fusion plasma batteries each. With Update 1.3.6, Reactors are no longer part of the amorphous material opening process. Macromolecue Biogel If you're already doing 400% infiltrations and the rotation favors you, Echo Swamp, The Chapel drops ~18/run. Not the most efficient time/resource ratio, but a palatable option if one is already doing infiltrations. For every other day of the week, outposts are your friend (and only other option) here. The biogel drops from the elite enemy, so you do have to finish the outpost. Typical drops range between 11-22 per kill. Note that you are not guaranteed a drop, so dry spells are unfortunately possible. Both outposts are in Echo Swamp, one in the Derelict Covert and the other in the Muskeg Swamp . I recommend the outpost in the Muskeg Swamp because the sabotage targets are close enough together that most AoE descendant skills can pop all three at the same time. As an aside, you can also do this on normal mode for a guaranteed, but smaller drop (~8-16) as mentioned in the comments by @Stevie-Keyz . Though I still personally prefer hard mode as I feel the available amorphous material are more valuble. Mixed Energy Residue Nothing special about this one, Get an Enzo (or Nell as soon as season 3 drops), and start running around the Agna Desert and open up some vaults. (I'm partial to The Remnant and The Storage because these zones are smaller, so there is less running around to do) My recent farming cycle seems to suggest that there are vaults seemed to spawn faster in The Remnant , but there were more blue and purple vaults in The Storage . Ultimately I found that I gathered resources equally quickly, but my distribution of code breaker usage skewed differently in each zone. Advanced Neural Circuits Probably the most annoying part of the Catalyst farming circuit. Best advice, take an AoE speed farmer to The Borderline of Truth in The Mountaintops region of White-Night Gulch . Each of the three elites that spawn during the course of the mission have a chance to drop Advanced Neural Circuits ~0-8/kill. Alternatively, if you happen to be running infiltrations, the Mysteries End infiltration in White-Night Gulch drops 5/run for completion. Far from efficient if your only goal is Advanced Neural Circuits, but possibly usable as a secondary farm if you're doing something else. So I found this video on the tube by Sawus5282 and after trying it out, it definitely merits inclusion. My testing suggests that this method yields between 15-25% more brains per minute on average. The caveat is that this method requires Jayber to work (if you're running solo), in addition to being notably higher effort than just standing around in the usual option and spamming Ines' fourth ability. That said, if you're looking to maximize your farming yield, this would seem to be your new best option. For those who don't want to watch the video (its only 2 minutes long, though it is in Russian). Head to the Shipment Base region of White-Night Gulch, use Tactical Teleporter #2. Start the Fortress Courtyard mission, an elite will spawn on a platform a bit away from you, head out there and place double attack turrets, kill the elite. Restart the mission, let the turrets kill the elite. Rinse and repeat. Don't forget to run over and pick up your drops periodically. I advise doing this bit on private. As a team farming alternative, you and a friend could do this by having one person pretend to be the turrets and just standing in the elite's spawn zone while the other hangs out near the mission beacon. After which both people abort the mission, rinse and repeat. Side perk, the rapid resets bring in a pretty constant flow of champion mobs, so I've seen a decent number of Cooling Metallic Foil drops. Given the one and done nature of using Energy Activators on descendants and weapons, you won't need a massive number of these. Figure ~20 for descendants and ~33 for weapons (as of Season 3). Low-Carbon Activator With the change to Void Reactors a while back, farming Low-Carbon Activators has never been easier. Head to The Grand Square in Kingston and start up the Void Reactor , kill both elites and collect your Low-Carbon Activators. Assuming you get a drop from each kill, you should see ~10-22 per times 2 elites. With a half decent build, this is repeatable between 3 and 4 times every minute. Conductive Metallic Foil Nothing special about this one, Get an Enzo (or Nell as soon as season 3 drops), and start running around Vespers and open up some vaults. (I'm partial to The Rui
